The ╦ symbol, officially named "Box Drawing Double Down and Horizontal," is a classic text-formatting character inherited from early computing environments like DOS. It is used to create top-edge T-intersections for double-lined tables, borders, and graphical user interfaces in plain text. Today, it remains popular for retro ASCII art, command-line interfaces, and text-based diagrams.
